This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences.
Through
her own story, social activist Megan Shinnick points out the
misconceptions and actual importance of depression, as well as the
societal flaws re...sponsible for the increase in the illness among teens.
Perhaps the increased pressures put on students create the situation,
while the majority of schools don't have the necessary resources to aid
students who suffer depression or anxiety. Megan asks each of us to make
a difference in the way society both views and deals with depression. Run TIme: 6:43[more]
